Hi guys has anybody sat the SJT this week just i was looking over my questions in the last few minuetes before J had time to hit the finish button ! did this happen to anybody else as it did not have in the guidlines before I took it that you have to hit the finish button with time to spare ? Quite worried as double checking my answers may have screwed up my chances thanks!

you don't need to click submit.
whatever progress you had made up to the point when you ran out of time will be saved.

Got an invite to do the numeracy test today.
Me to, just receieved the email.
Numeracy is really not my strong point so I'm going to have to get practicing!
I thought the JST was really tough.
Also thought the SJT was tough, they've said on FB page there's a sort of deadline for numerical but want people to do ASAP so no pressure there lol
Seems most of the people in this thread were successful then (myself included). According to the Facebook page, NOMS 'had over 2,300 people apply and we have invited just over 500 to take the numerical test. We are looking for around 150 to take through to the JSAC'. That means there was a success rate of 21% for this stage. There will be a success rate of 30% for the next two stages (500>150 and 150>50 [interviews]) before dropping down to 24% for those ultimately selected for the final 12 spots.
It does not look as scary as it did to begin with (i.e. only 0.5% of those applying will eventually be selected). I imagine the difference between candidates will start to widen now.

Hi, I have just finished my numerical reasoning test online which was a lot harder than I had expected....I have had an email acknowledging that I have completed the test, but does anyone know how long it will be before I hear whether I have passed or failed it? Keep refreshing the page to see if there's any news but I can't sit & do that all day! 
Thanks to anyone who can give me any info on timescale.....

anyone done the maths test yet? how was it?
Do you mean the online test (devised by SHL)? If you do mean the online maths test, its truly horrible!
Hello
I have not sat the test yet but a bit worried as i stumbled on an online test earlier for deloitte (consulting with a hope to do public sector consulting) which was also shl. not sure if the companies use different levels depending on the job...
I found the NHS numerical one ok though.. if anyone did that one is it similar?

Oh great.

Passed the maths test but the email says they will let me know later if I've got through to the JSAC.

I have just done the numerical test before tomorrow's deadline and found it really difficult: I did not finish it and skipped one or two questions. It is quite sad that - unlike the previous test - this is not at all representative of the kind of job you will be doing inside a prison...
Hey guys
Got an email saying i'd passed both the tests and there waiting on everyone else to finish theirs before deciding who to invite to assessment centre. I didn't think I did too well in the numeracy test and was pleasantly surprised when informed i'd passed it. Anyone heard anything else yet?

Is this still open to new applicants, or have I missed it for this year?
Closed now
I'm through to the next stage too, congrats to you bobbers! Yes, I reckon there will be much more information in the next email.
